Remembrance Day on Sunday was marked in the parish by church services and attending war memorials in St James churchyard and at Staplecross.

Retired RAF officer James Cyster did the honours and laid a wreath on behalf of the Parochial Church Council with David Young representing Ewhurst Parish Council.
